Another Mystery

09 January 2010     Editor    0 Comments.

Considering how well you all did with identifying Jzero/Lazarus, here’s another challenge. This amazing vessel has recently appeared on Le Prao Petrel, with no more information than it is from the West of France. The photos show a Pacific proa with a stayed, balestron rig, leeward anti-capsize pod and small doghouse. How does this happen?!! My spies are everywhere, and this one slipped by everyone.

UPDATE 12.9.10: Helmut M. has sent along more images of the boat, which I have now posted. We still don’t know the name of the owner, builder or designer. The proa is located at 37 25’19,1” - 122 05’ 06” at Pendruc - Ruisseau Le Minaouet, France; the pictures were taken on 1st November by Gérard from ‘Famille Guillard’.
